What is it ?

Epiphany is the GNOME web browser, based on the mozilla rendering engine. It aims to be simple and easy to use.

Epiphany 1.9.6 is the sixth release in the development series leading up to GNOME 2.14. In this release, the Add Bookmark dialog is even sexier than it already was and the NetworkManager extension has been integrated into the core.

Changes from Epiphany 1.9.5.1 to 1.9.6

  • libnm-glib be-gone! Use NetworkManager directly via DBUS, by
    importing the excellent net-monitor extension directly into
    Epiphany. Code by Jean-François Rameau.

  • Revamped Bookmark Properties/Add Bookmark/New Topic dialogues.

Bug fixes:

  • Misc fixes: bug #328747, #328064, #328351, #327381, #125723, #320686, #327845, #326807.
  • Open smart bookmark url in new tabs when using Ctrl+Enter (part of
    bug #310814)

  • Disable pango rendering by default, unless MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO env
    var is set. Bug #328844.

  • Don’t use favicon as window icon. Bug #131010.
  • Fix URL opening with two concurrently starting instances.
  • Fix a couple of memory leaks
  • Add license to about dialogue. Patch by Brian Pepple, bug #327998.
  • Add caret mode indicator UI. Bug #145581.
  • When adding a column that can be sorted on, re-create the sort
    model, so that it sets up the sort method correctly. Fixes #320686.
